Tuesday

~New Town~

We took a little impromptu day trip, Monday.

For the past 15 or 20 years, J has taken the blood thinner Coumadin. Most of the time things go smoothly. The past month the numbers have been erratic and dosage adjustments have been made, followed by blood tests, in a week. Monday was the day for the latest blood work.

As long as we were headed in a southerly direction, for the test, we decided to take a detour to New Town Saint Charles.

The homes at New Town are reminiscent of homes from another era.

As we walked along looking at these pretty homes, most with a front porch, we saw lots of Limelight Hydrangea, like the one above.

All the photos up to and including the one above, were taken at New Town Saint Charles.

J looking over tomatoes…

We found a farm stand, on the road home, selling produce on the honor system. See the coffee can in the upper left photo? That’s the “cash register”.

We found more tomatoes and new potatoes at another stand. No green beans though.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think of you.~John Wooden

It is only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, that we will begin to live each day to the fullest; as if it were the only one we had.~Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross~
